Subject: [PATCH 1/4] sky2: remove unneede workaround
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:27:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090203212755.892910982@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090203212726.983207890@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: sky2-tim-opt.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 813 bytes --]

This workaround is not needed. It was inherited from sk98lin driver but only
applies to an early development version of the chip that is not supported
by sky2.  The workaround required an unnecessary pci read which hurts performance
